Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
 
All our sins were on Thee laid;
 
By Almighty love anointed,
 
Thou hast full atonement made.
 
All Thy people are forgiven
 
Through the virtue of Thy blood;
 
Opened is the gate of heaven,
 
Peace is made for us with God.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:14)
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)

Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
 
There forever to abide;
 
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
 
Seated at Thy Father’s side;
 
Worship, honor, power and blessing,
 
Thou art worthy to receive;
 
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
 
Meet it is for us to give.
“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.” (Hebrews 1:8)
“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 1:20)
